Add a review about the Royal Theater of Carre in Amsterdam

The Royal Theater of Carre in Amsterdam specializes in shows, the most diverse - and, accordingly, is good first and foremost in variety. The repertoire is comprehensive - from operas (in classical music itself) to comedic shows, from ballet to musicals, from children's games to the most serious theater festivals. Such a scatter of genres, I must say, rarely happens in royal institutions: the status of "royal" in a country with a monarchy is very serious, but it's such a bizarre city - Amsterdam, everything here is non-trivial.

circus. Do not be surprised, this happened often in this era. He was built in 1887 by a circus director for his company, then, in his free time, they began to show a variety show, then operettas and cabaret, they became more popular - so the circus turned into a theater.

Now classical performances here give the best theaters in the world

Program

The Carre Theater specializes in tours, but there is also a big troupe, opera and drama, and besides - a very good orchestra .. Its performances are also diverse - there are modern plays, there are classical ones , there are also operas . From guest performers This theater accepts performances and shows in a variety of genres, but only if they are made quite qualitatively - the status of the "royal" obliges . So what if the musical is colorful, complex and with a good performance, and if the concert - the famous jazz performer . Tours usually prevail .

Hip-hop is not worth looking for here (maybe there is, but not enough, then it's better to go to a more "profile" place), but if you love the genre of soul - then for you there will be a lot of everything.

Program time AET diversity. In one month Don Giovanni opera, flamenco-biennale, famous circus performance, opera diva concert and Dreamgirls musical can pass in a row.

Features

Classic performances here give the best classical theaters of the world. Usually these are large, complex, with magnificent performances. Concerts - usually not rap, but something more rigorous, let's say it's an opera, jazz or a good soul. It is here that world celebrities of classical music or jazz often appear, having arrived on tour to Amsterdam, or there are performances of remarkable symphony orchestras. Pop concerts are also there, but they are not very much in percentage. There are also many youth competitions and programs for children.

Another interesting moment is festivals. There are a lot of them, and very different. Flamenco-Biennale, international festival of experimental theater or European guitarists competition - you can find the event almost for every taste.

The program of this theater should be noted if you want to see something good and good enough, but not too academically serious . Here you can choose a cultural program for elderly parents or find a show that you can come with your child.
